Warnings: If you've played the games, nothing to worry about.
Summary: AU, Lupa travels with the Tribe and Gale is detailed to getting him to eat something (once Argilla and Sera have done their part). Cerberus keeps licking the hand (and groin) that feeds it, and Serph has to remind the new one whose bitches they all are.
Prompt: June 8) Digital Devil Saga, Lupa/Gale; senses; why do I want to lick you if you're not food?
-
After glancing at Serph for final approval Gale had vetoed Lupa’s plan of going ahead of them to cut down the opposition. While he had initially planned to approve the idea, since it would give the Brutes the idea this was a Wolves-only action, several attacking in concert worked more efficiently then a lone demon, even Lupa. Lupa charging ahead would alert the Brutes, and then when he fell the Embryon would walk into the hornet’s nest he had stirred up.
If Lupa was now subordinate to the Embryon, there was no conflict with him serving as a tribe member. In fact, that would hopefully strengthen the case that Serph had conquered the Wolves despite not killing their leader, if that leader took orders from him (or whichever person was currently designated command-giver) on the battlefield.
It turned out to be most fortunate, since it was quickly discovered that Lupa, like Jinana, was refusing to eat. Although Gale at first objected to being delegated to deal with this moral (whatever that was) objection of Lupa’s to eat alongside Argilla and Sera, he quickly realized that neither Heat’s ‘do it, you idiot’ or Cielo’s ‘jollying along’ would have any effect on the logical ex-tribe leader and therefore the most efficient combination was indeed to paralyze his illogical emotional objections with the effects of Argilla’s tears and Sera’s pleas while Gale presented a logical argument.
Apparently among the things like ‘son’ that they all strangely knew was a taboo, like a Karma Temple law, regarding something called ‘cannibalism.’ However, that was humans eating humans, not demons eating demons, and hence was not an applicable objection.
After Lupa’s objections had been countered Sera was removed by Heat, who did not want her to see this for some reason, unprompted while Cielo conferred with Argilla and Serph over the skill sets they needed for this area, which apparently contained a demon called a Pixie which summoned High Pixies, which often held items that would increase the ‘luck stat.’ Gale wished to join in on this conversation, since stat management fell under his duties, but keeping Lupa from being incapacitated by hunger came first.
Hence, he was holding the flesh of the first demon they’d managed to find that looked neither unappetizing nor humanlike (in hopes of getting around the irrational objections) out to Lupa’s demon form. Gale himself was in human form, so that he looked less threatening and less like food.
Sera, despite not eating, had given directions for how to make food look acceptable. This involved an application of the Agi spell from Heat, as he had the lowest magic stat. The prepared meat was taken from his hands piece by piece, at first slower then at a rate that showed how close he had come to Jinana’s fate. Even after it was all gone Lupa still kept licking Gale.
“Lupa, there is no more here. Do you wish to go hunting?”
Gale did not receive a verbal answer. Instead, he was pinned down with a paw and the three tongues continued to remove all remains of prey from his body, both the blood from this meal on his hands and that which had unfortunately caked onto his shoes. He wished there was a water spell instead of an ice spell: that would come in useful for not alerting enemies by scent.
He submitted to this: after all, the water here was not to be trusted. However, Lupa kept going long past the point where Gale still smelled at all like prey and the tongues occasionally caused odd sensations. “Serph! Lupa is acting oddly.”
The group came around the corner, and Gale found himself not appreciating the audience despite the fact he should have approved of the others staying close to both Serph, their leader, and the near-defenseless Sera. Serph held another one of the approved demons and waved it a bit to attract Lupa’s attention. One of the heads rose to look at it, but growled when Serph came too close.
“He’s not going after the meat?” Argilla’s head tilted.
“Whoa there, bro, I think he likes you! The kitty was just like that. Okay, not just like that,” Cielo’s grin widened as a tongue reaching Gale’s pelvis prompted his body to react oddly.
Serph waved the demon harder, causing another one of the heads to look at it, then handed it to Heat and mimed throwing it: Heat was the strongest in the party according to those ‘stats.’
“Hey, mutt! Want some of this!” Heat threw it and Lupa promptly left Gale.
“I do not comprehend. I should be relieved that he has ceased trying to eat me and allowed me to stand again,” Gale reported as he did so, “and yet I find myself…” Lupa came back after gulping down the demon and pinned Gale down yet again. “I do not comprehend why I find this awkward situation a beneficial one!”
Sera was giggling and Heat also began to laugh.
Serph stepped forward, folding his arms. Gale’s view from below was obstructed, but it appeared that Lupa’s demon form was fully conversant in Serph’s language of gesture and expression, created to avoid stressing a scarred throat.
Finally Lupa bowed his heads and whined, pushing Gale forward with two noses as a peace offering.
Serph then pet each of those heads, Gale feeling left out of the conversation as he had so many since the world had changed, and nodded for Sera to come forward.
“Sera, could you try singing?” Argilla prompted the new tribe member.
“I don’t think it’s the same thing, but I’ll try?” Sera did so, and Lupa reverted, clearly as clueless about what had just happened as Gale was.
“Don’t go hungry so long again, Mon! We don’ wann let Gale get eaten, ja? Then Argilla would have to do all de work around here since he’s de guy with the smitin’ lightnin’!”
Lupa looked to him for a translation but no, Gale did not comprehend this new Cielo either. “I was not that hungry. He did not smell like food. I was licking him because he smelled like…”
“De kitty was jus doin it to be friendly. I think it’s a comrade thing, ja?” Cielo looked at the other for confirmation.
Serph was blank, waiting for the others’ input before making the final decision and Heat thought this was pointless. The conversation between Cielo and Argilla, with some input from Sera, eventually decided that licking was a comradely thing to do and might have to do with scent marking to tell friend from foe. Then, the two of them proceeded to convince the others, including him, that this was a useful activity and might grant some resistance to the effects of charm and confusion, making Cielo’s job as healer easier.
Gale, now that he comprehended the purpose of this, was divided between gaining more data on it and proceeding with the mission. After an initial session was completed, Heat causing Sera to giggle, Cielo giggling like crazy, Argilla blushing while hugging Sera and other emotional displays from the irrational ones, Serph, considering, took some of Lupa’s neck into his mouth without actually biting down.
“Yes, I know that you are the alpha male now,” Lupa acknowledged, bowing his head.
“Alpha male?” Gale sighed, shaking his head. “I do not comprehend.”
